Picked up my OT+ this week, seems like I got one of a few Incognito with black roofs and Lexus won’t do another run for a while (just earth with black now). You have a kick sensor on the hatch, that’s one of the OT+ upgrades over the non +
Northside Lexus has a great youtube tutorial for all the buttons. Just kick to the right of the hitch and you'll find it. For massage, should be 2-3 clicks to get to it. If Android is maximized on the screen, top left to minimize, then the auto icon for car settings and then seats. Shouldn't get to go to the Lexus app. If you aren't maximized then its one click less! Enjoy the ride!
Almost traded in my 23 GX and my sales guy told me.... dont do it. They had 2 and the rest were stuck at port. He said major engine issues and Toyota was issuing a recall on all their V6 turbos for 24, Tundras, GX, LX, 4 Runner.. well sure enough.. the recall is finally out and Toyota has all the GX 550 held at port, at least for most dealers. I did drive one they had there, the interior was no where near the quality of the previous model and the hood rattled at more that 45 MPH and got worse at 60. Plus engines imploding at any moment on any of these models. Hope yours is the better ones.
Quick question for you are you nervous about the reliability of that engine since tundra is having major problems I love the color I think you did a great job looks awesome. I got GX 2016 and I love it super reliable I have a trailer with some toys that I use it with the GX works great I always come home never have an issue super super reliable I'm afraid the new Toyota is not the old Toyota and I'm worrying about the quality reliability and a resale value in that exact order. Make a quality video every 30,000 miles. it'll be a good one to watch like an update believe me if I want to see the reliability back.
Congrats on the new great looking ride! What is the warranty like on the engine? I’ve been seeing many tundra’s and sequoias with the v6 twin turbo having engine issues. I have a deposit on the gx 550. But i’m on the fence between LX 570 and gx 550. I think the gx is a better looking car but having some reliability concerns.
Cool box is useless but I hear Toyota is putting them in every damn 550 even though it’s a factory option. I hope someone comes up with a way to buy the non-cool box parts to remove it.
It’s honestly about the same price, except this is twin turbo v6, bigger and more luxurious, i think the Land Cruiser and the 4Runner are way too overpriced, might as well spend a bit more for way more features and better performance
I thought all the OT+ came with the kick sensor. Also, how do you like the Mark Levinson system? I have an OT+ in Nori (minus black roof also) coming next month.
Let me try to see if the kick sensor is there again. Hasn't worked yet. Live the mark Levinson system. Super clear at high levels. I will do more reviews. You are going to live it. I am averaging 22mpg on the highway. Wish that was a little better.
Valley lexus in Modesto has a $4,500 ceramic coat markup. Fresno lexus has a $4,000 ceramic coat makeup. But Motor city in Bakersfield Modesto has no markup. $250 refundable deposit to get on the waiting list.
Ooof, that Incognito! Man, that's easily the SUV of the year. That 550 is a piece of art, good for you!
Badass Lexus, congrats!
Congrats on the new car. Looks cool!
Picked up my nori green Overtrail on Wednesday in MA.
Just did my oil change 500miles. Love the car

Excellent news
Has Toyota put out a TSB for the main bearing failures on the 3.4 motor? Only reason I haven’t signed up for the wait list. Can’t get a solid answer
wow❤😍
How's the gas tank size? Range?
I can’t decide between this color and nori

Bought 100k bumper to bumper and I drive for work so will probably only have it 2 or 3 years.
@@gizziesgarage6332 Good idea with the warranty
Nice
Do you notice any hood flutter?
What percent tint on the front?
Have you noticed the hood bulge in and out on the highway? I just seen a video of someone complaining about this.
What do you mean?
Have the upgraded Mark Levinson sound?? Head up Display?! Are they worth it?
Yes. Love both. Sounds system is super clear.

I got the 4 year, 100k mile extended warranty since I drive a lot of work
@@gizziesgarage6332 If you don’t mind sharing, how much did they charge for the warranty?
@iosifkovalenko8364 let me look. I rolled iver a bit of the warranty on my last toyota. I will get back to you on this
@@gizziesgarage6332 any updates for us?
?

I have a 4Runner. You said it rides like a 4Runner? I was hoping it was better. It has to be quieter inside then a 4Runner, right?
Yes. Quieter. The feel is sort of the same. Hard to explain I guess.
People are a little disappointed by the small gas tank. Looks great though.
Dealer told me you an tell Lexus voice command to turn the massaging seats on. Please let us know if that is really possible.
Will give it a try. Haven't used voice commands
24 4runner is the way to go right now

Going to have to disagree since the iforceMax is going to run you close to 60K might as well get the Lexus.

You are right. Kick sensor is there. Just off to the right and not in the center like my RAV4.
@@gizziesgarage6332 Glad you're loving it! Heard mixed reviews about it. Oh, I'll take 22mpg all day long! My FJ Cruiser around the 15-17 range.
@@gizziesgarage6332 Thought so. I am told it's under the "X" in Lexus. Thanks for the replies and look forward to future reviews!
Only thing missing is ac console in back Toyota cheaper and has them
Comes standard with a $20,000 dealer markup!
No markup in bakersfield, california.
Paid MSRP
Fanboi Liars commenting lol.
@@dannyhoward3437 Call motor city in bakersfield. No markup silly goose.
Wrong under MSRP here
Is the headliner black?
Yes. I beleive so. Haha. Haven't really looked up yet.
How much dealer markup did you have to pay? They’re asking 15,000 here in California.
Got it for MSRP.
Awesome Lucky

Definitely not the first in US. Ive seen 2 at the dealer about 10 days ago
How long before the main bearing goes out?. 😂
at any moment those thing are imploding
For me the interior feels so cheap. And too much road noise compared to the Defender 130.
42k miles in one year and you got back 36k hmmm 🤔
Yup. They offered 34.5. I said 36k and as long as I financed the GX they were good.
It was a RAV4 limited hybrid
@@gizziesgarage6332 that’s the greatest trade I’ve ever heard of.
@@sunchaser999 I sold cars for 3 years, plus Toyota and Lexus are the best brands for depreciation. They don't lose money hardly ever.
You should have saved one of your dislikes for when the crank bearings come apart!
